COLOMBIA LA PALMERA ASTRO LOT

La Palmer’s is one of the latest additions to our coffee line-up, sourced through our trusted partners at Siruma Coffee. Ignacio Rodriguez continues to push boundaries in processing, and his work on the Astro lot is a reflection of that precision. By refining a short anaerobic fermentation lasting between 26 to 30 hours followed by a carefully controlled drying phase of 140 to 150 hours at temperatures below 28°C, Ignacio achieves remarkable consistency across batches. The result is a cup driven by a clean, strawberry-forward profile, where aroma and flavour align seamlessly. Astro is a clear example of what thoughtful fermentation and measured technique can unlock.

At a medium roast, the Astro lot expresses its natural anaerobic character with clarity—crafted for espresso. It opens with a vibrant strawberry candy sweetness, layered with juicy pineapple and the soft, rounded notes of watermelon rind. The finish lingers like ripe honeydew, offering a clean, melon like sweetness. Even with milk, the fruit character holds its ground flavours of cherry pod, honeydew, and bubblegum emerge, evoking a playful, fruit candy profile. Astro lot captures what we love most in specialty coffee, a cup full of vivid and diverse fruit sensations.
